In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Midtown High School girls swim relay team, which set a new school record of 3:31.75 in the 400 Free Relay, beating the old record by seven seconds. The resolution names the four swimmers on the record-setting relay team, including Katya Tumanova, and praises their dedication and teamwork. The Senate formally congratulates Tumanova and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for her.
What the bill does
- Congratulates Katya Tumanova by name for her role in the Midtown High School girls swim relay team's first-place 400 Free Relay finish.
- States the team broke the school record by seven seconds, finishing with a time of 3:31.75.
- Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute an official copy of the resolution to Katya Tumanova.
Who it affects
The resolution directly names and honors Katya Tumanova and her Midtown High School swim relay teammates, Rhea El-Deiry, Dabney Bond, and Sarah Paisley Owen. It also involves the Secretary of the Senate, who must prepare the commemorative copy.
Why it matters
The resolution has no legal effect and does not change any Georgia law, funding, or policy. Its practical impact is symbolic: it creates an official Senate record recognizing the swim team's achievement and gives Tumanova a keepsake copy of the honor.
